Completely sacred we hear (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wholly

'completely' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'sacred we hear' is the wordplay.
'sacred' becomes 'holy' (similar in meaning).
'we hear' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'holy' is a homophone of 'WHOLLY'.

(Other definitions for wholly that I've seen before include "Absolutely!" , "Totally" , "in full?" , "Entirely, fully" , "in every respect" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
